    This bag has a padded labtop pocket, addition device pocket and the middle section had organized sectioned pockets for phones or small notepads. The smaller pocket still had plenty of storage room and the handles are very cushioned and sturdy! My only complaint that it didn’t come in additional colors, I would buy again if ever my current one fails me.

    I was so impressed with this backpack that I ended up getting a total of three — one for myself and two for my kids! The Targus Octave III is incredibly well-made, lightweight, and super comfortable to carry. It has plenty of space and compartments that make it perfect for work, school, or travel. My laptop fits perfectly, and the padding gives me confidence that it’s protected. The design is sleek and professional, and the quality is outstanding for the price. Definitely one of the best purchases I’ve made — highly recommended for anyone looking for a durable, stylish, and reliable backpack!

    Strap broke within 20 days of purchase. Bestbuy won't accept the return as it is outside the return window and Targus warranty claim requires me to send the bag back to them.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    Good and durable so far. Using it for my day-to-day routine. The stitching and zippers feel strong, and the material looks like it will last. It’s comfortable to carry, with enough space to fit my essentials without being too bulky. The design is simple yet functional, making it suitable for both work and casual use. Overall, a reliable choice that seems worth the price

    The Targus Octave III Backpack is a fantastic blend of style, comfort, and functionality. Designed to fit laptops up to 15.6", it features a well-padded compartment that keeps your device secure while you're on the move. The spacious main storage and multiple organizational pockets make it easy to carry everything from chargers and notebooks to snacks and water bottles. What really stands out is the lightweight design and padded shoulder straps, which make it incredibly comfortable for daily commuting, school, or travel. The water-resistant base adds peace of mind during rainy days, and the sleek black finish gives it a modern, versatile look that fits any setting

    Lightweight, roomy, and great value! I grabbed this Targus Octave III for daily use with my laptop, and I’m really impressed. It’s super light (under 1.3 lb), yet offers tons of storage with its built-in workstation and multiple front pockets—perfect for my charger, phone, and notepad. The padded laptop sleeve keeps my 15.6″ up safe, and those side water-bottle holders are a handy touch for long days. Overall, durable and reliable for the price.
